Examination Passing Policy

Should a student complete a Firebrand Training Program without having successfully passed all vendor examinations, the student may re-attend that program for a period of one year. Students will only be responsible for accommodations and vendor exam fees.

Please note

* Not on all courses

** Examination vouchers are not included for the following courses: PMI, GIAC, CREST and CISSP CBK Review. Exam vouchers may also not be included for Apprentices and will require a separate purchase by an employer due to Education and Skills Funding Agency guidelines.

*** On site testing is not included for our PMI, GIAC, CREST, CSX Practitioner or ITIL Managers and Revision Certification Courses

This CRISC training course is designed for IT and business professionals who are engaged at an operational or management level to mitigate risk. It is therefore an advantage to have knowledge of business and technology risk management, and the implementation of information systems controls. You should also be familiar with general IT and business terminology.

In order to get your CRISC certification, you must:

pass the CRISC exam

adhere to the Code of Professional Ethics

adhere to the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Policy

have at least three years of cumulative work experience performing the tasks of a CRISC professional across at least two of the four CRISC domains - of these two required domains, one must be in either Domain 1 or 2.

There are no experience waivers or substitutions allowed.

You may take the exam prior to meeting the requirements, but your CRISC designation is only awarded, when all requirements are met. Experience must have been gained within the 10-year period preceding the application date for certification or within five years from the date of initially passing the examination.

Retaking and passing the examination will be required if the application for certification is not submitted within five years from the passing date of the examination. All experience must be verified independently with employers.

Once a CRISC candidate has passed the CRISC certification exam and has met the work experience requirements, the final step is to complete and submit the CRISC Application for Certification.

Unsure whether you meet the prerequisites?

Just call us on +44 207 907 1120 and speak to one of our enrolment consultants.
